Metallica's alright. I like their more mellow stuff.

QuoteNo, it's "TBA" (=The Black Album) and it's not hard rock, it's heavy metal. People just get confused because it was their first non-thrash album.
Most people I've come across call it "The Black Box". And yeah, it's definitely metal, not rock. I don't know how you could mistake that for rock.
Never heard it called black box before. Where does box come from? Definately hard rock, like ACDC and GnR.
LS, which album is the topic of discussion here?

I think it would be very hard to argue that TBA is harder and heavier than The Razor's Edge or Black Ice or Use Your Illusion I or II or The Spaghetti Incident. It is a little more complex than Hard Rock generally is, has a bit of Metal like structure to the composition though, but still simpler and more of a rock feel to it than Heavy Metal.

When TBA came out a large portion of Metallica fans came from the Hard Rock Scene. Lets face it, Hard Rock has always been generally more accessible to the public than Heavy Metal. I think it was great that Metallica were able to capture a new audience with TBA and then introduce them to Heavy Metal via their back catalogue, but a bit disappointing for myself that they stopped playing Thrash or even Metal. But no big deal, as there are many other great metal bands to carry the flag and produce great new metal for me to listen to.

But anyway, useless us arguing about the genre as there is certainly no clear definition of what is metal and what is hard rock. I have the lines drawn in my head and likely they are different from yours.

I tend to like different versions of songs, but that was pretty terrible. Pretty sure they would be booed off the stage if they did that.
Here is a great alt version of a Maiden song that I think is very odd but I like

Completely agree, but why would you listen to a tribute band?
